The older soldier said respectfully, "I have long admired Doctor Zhang's reputation. Please wait a moment while I go and inform him."
Not long after the soldiers went inside, a young general came out and clasped his hands in a fist and said to Shen Danru, "I have heard that Doctor Zhang has the ability to bring the dead back to life. I beg Doctor Zhang to save my old general."
Du Huan thought that Zhang Yuanjing, the divine doctor of Medicine King Valley, was a legendary figure who could bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones. Today, he must have come for General Shen.
With him there, General Shen is saved.
Shen Danru stroked his fake beard and nodded calmly.
Yuan Ying, head held high and chest puffed out, said arrogantly, "My divine physician came here specifically for General Shen. Please lead the way."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Zhang."
Du Huan respectfully led them into a courtyard, where General Shen was settled.
Upon entering, Shen Danru saw an elderly man with graying temples lying on the hospital bed. He was pale, breathing weakly, and thin, clearly indicating that his condition was very serious.
Looking closely at him, she saw that his features were exactly like her father, Shen Cheng, and she confirmed that the old man was indeed her grandfather.
A military doctor was standing guard beside his grandfather.
When the man saw General Du bring in an old man, he immediately understood the old man's identity.
Zhang Huan introduced, "Military doctor, this is Physician Zhang from Medicine King Valley, who has come specially to treat General Shen."
Upon hearing this, the military doctor immediately became respectful towards Shen Danru.
He explained General Shen's condition to Shen Danru: "Dr. Zhang, after the old general was injured, I applied medicine to him, and then he suddenly fainted. His minor injury shouldn't have caused him to faint, but I can't figure out the reason why he fainted."
From the anxious look in the military doctor's eyes, Shen Danru could see his concern for General Shen.
"Having heard that the physician in Prefect Sun's residence was highly skilled, we immediately brought the old general to his residence. However, the physician treated the old general for more than half a month, but his condition still did not improve."
"The old general's health is deteriorating, and he has not woken up for three days now."
Shen Danru nodded slightly: "The military doctor need not worry, I will treat General Shen immediately."
"Thank you very much, Dr. Zhang."
Yuan Ying opened the medicine box, took out a medicine pillow, and placed it under General Shen's arm. Shen Danru then took his pulse.
She secretly communicated with the system to confirm that her grandfather's injuries had healed.
The cause of the coma was not illness, but poisoning, and the poisoning had been going on for about three or four months.
In other words, the person who poisoned my grandfather had started administering the poison gradually three or four months earlier.
This happened right after my grandfather learned that my father was still alive.
The person behind this doesn't want the grandfather to acknowledge his father.
Although this poison is a chronic poison, it is insidious and vicious.
If it weren't for his grandfather's longing to see his father, he probably wouldn't be alive today.
Who is so despicable as to not even spare an old general who defends the country?
If it started three or four months ago and the grandfather was completely unaware, this person must be one of his trusted confidants.
His injury was definitely caused by that person. Even if his grandfather passed away, it would be attributed to the injury he sustained on the battlefield, rather than poisoning.
Shen Danru dared not trust anyone at this moment, not even the young general and the military doctor. He could not tell them the truth, lest he alert the enemy.
We can only wait for my grandfather to wake up and ask him in person.
After a long while, Shen Danru stopped what she was doing, stood up, and looked seriously at the military doctor:
"The old general's condition is indeed serious. He suffers from three completely different ailments at the same time: a cold, overwork, and emotional distress. These three ailments affect each other, causing the old general's health to deteriorate."
Shen Danru is not wrong in saying this; these are just the surface symptoms of his grandfather.
Upon hearing this, Du Huan's expression turned grave. He looked anxiously at Shen Danru and said, "Dr. Zhang, please, you must save my old general."
Shen Danru gestured to Yuan Ying to help him up.
"Young general, please rest assured, now that I'm here, I will not stand idly by. I will do my best to treat the old general, but this will require your cooperation."
Upon hearing this, Du Huan felt a glimmer of hope. He quickly said, "Please rest assured, Physician Zhang, you can treat the old general. If anyone dares to stop you, be careful, my sword will make their head roll."
His eyes hardened, as if anyone who dared to stand in his way would be regarded as an enemy on the battlefield.
Shen Danru was moved; this young general was indeed loyal to his grandfather.
She opened the medicine box and actually took out the prepared antidote solution from the system.
The system originally prepared an antidote pill, but since the grandfather was still in a coma and it was difficult to feed him, the system switched to a liquid medicine.
The military doctor took the medicine, carefully examined it, and after confirming that it was safe, nodded to Du Huan.
Shen Danru could understand these concerns, after all, they were also thinking about her grandfather's safety.
Upon hearing the news, Prefect Sun hurriedly led the prefectural physician to the courtyard where General Shen was staying.
As soon as he entered, he saw an old man about to feed General Shen something unknown. Startled, he immediately stepped forward to stop Shen Danru.
Prefect Sun stood in front of Shen Danru, his expression tense, and asked, "Who are you? Why have you trespassed here without permission, and why do you intend to harm the old general?"
Shen Danru glanced at Prefect Sun indifferently, without answering his question, but instead asked in return, "And who are you? What are you trying to do by preventing me from treating General Shen?"
Upon hearing this, Prefect Sun was stunned for a moment, feeling guilty, before he realized what was happening.
"You're talking nonsense, it was clearly you guys..."
Before he could finish speaking, Du Huan held his sword to Prefect Sun's neck.
"Prefect Sun, speak quickly! What are your intentions? Why are you preventing the divine physician from treating the old general?"
Prefect Sun glanced at the gleaming sword at his neck and his legs began to tremble with fear.
"General Du, you've misunderstood. I'm just concerned about the old general. These people are of dubious origin; please don't trust them easily."
Upon hearing Prefect Sun's words, Du Huan sheathed his sword.
"General Du, General Shen is a matter of national destiny. He is the only general in our country who can strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. If we lose him, the border will be in grave danger. We must find out his background before making a decision."
"Besides, Doctor Zhang has never left Medicine King Valley in all these years. This person might be impersonating Doctor Zhang. Furthermore, how can they prove their identity?"
Du Huan stared at Shen Danru, as if he had made up his mind.
“I believe he is the miracle doctor Zhang. If anything happens, I am willing to stake my life on it.”
As Du Huan spoke, he stepped forward and respectfully said to Shen Danru, "Dr. Zhang, please continue to treat the old general."
Prefect Sun tried to stop him, but was intimidated by Du Huan's resolute gaze and dared not make a move.
He looked at the sword in Du Huan's hand, and could only stand there helplessly.
